House hunting? Just relax!

Don’t rush into house hunting, here’s what you need to know to bag yourself the best houses for next year.

Not started hunting for next year's house yet? Don't worry!

You might have friends who've got viewings booked here, there and everywhere. You might even have some who've already signed for the place they plan on spending next year, and this is fine...

But don't let them rush YOU into house hunting early.

Did you know: lots of students who sign for properties before Christmas end up paying over £15 a week more than their friends who waited until the official Unipol house hunting start date.

Unipol is the superstar of house hunting, they are a housing charity whose mission is to help the students of Leeds find the best homes possible without the hype or bias. And on Saturday 20 January 2018 they launch the largest selection of accredited student properties in Leeds with 17,000 bed spaces available - so don't let anyone tell you that there won't be any left if you don't look now.

Starting your house hunting with Unipol means access to the biggest choice of properties from the best student accommodation providers in Leeds. All of which are accredited to ensure that your student home is safe and comfortable, and that your landlord will play fair.

What you need to do in the meantime:

Relax

Work out who you want to live with

Find the area you want to live in

Calculate how much you want to spend per week - doing research can save you some serious money

Don't listen to the myths that all the big and best houses go first - relax and start your house hunt with Unipol for the best deals.
